Can anyone explain to me why the cruise line didn’t get those people off that fucking boat? It’s not like it was a starliner adrift somewhere in the Badlands between Bajor and Cardassia.

It would cost too much. They would need a boat of comparable size, or multiple boats, and the only boats of comparable size were off on successful, profitable cruises elsewhere, so one couldn’t really divert them to a rescue mission.

Bob, I absolutely LOVED your analogy.

And getting people off a boat on the open ocean is not a trivial exercise. 4000 people? how to move them– on shuttles? 15 at a time?
